Knowing the refined and cultured tastes of many who post here, I fely obliged to do all such art lovers a gross disservice by posting the following links. Bagasse & Gematria Mumblestoats' Museum of Depressionist Art : http://www.dearauntnettie.com/museum/index.htmThe Gladys Dwindlebimmers Ralston Gallery of the Unidentifiable: http://208.55.110.185/gallery/index.htmIn case anybody is wondering about the linguistic relevance of this post, I would love to read some reviews of the sites. No doubt reviewing them will provide scope for some creative use of language.

max, I think it would be extremely instructive to know which (if any) of these objets made each of us laugh aloud. for me it was the "golden bowl" / "golden helmet" and the "bowling trophy".

which of these objets made each of us laugh aloudI have to agree with tsuwm that the "bowling trophy" is the piece with the highest sight-gag value. I laughed aloud at the description of "Early Experiment with Genetic Engineering."

Yes, loved the legged wonder; and several of the pictures were funny - I liked the description accompanying Fog, and the detail view

"Exploding Nude#4", "Early Experiment with Genetic Engineering" and "Unfinished Portrait of George Washington" got me laughing.
Thanks for the link, Max! Reminded me of one of the better years of art history classes when we tried to come up with what was really going on behind some of the masters' artwork.....

I laughed aloud at the description of "Early Experiment with Genetic Engineering." Omnascient Max did not realise that there were descriptions with each piece until I read Seian's reply about fog. Reading the description of "Early Experiment with Genetic Engineering", elevated it to top of my list as well. Bar-bek-Eurib, head biotechnologist under Havapilsner I, good stuff.
